The man got out of a car and approached the girl on June 26 at 2:15 p.m. as she walked with a 17-year-old boy on Curie Avenue. Police said that the boy struggled with the assailant before the man got back into the car, which was driven by an accomplice, and sped away.

The robber was described to be in his late 30s or early 40s with a thin build, short gray hair, a gray scruffy beard and between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10 in height, said police Detective Sgt. Robert Bracken. The driver, he said, was described as having white hair and a medium build.

Bracken said the men were in a dark blue Volkswagen 2-door Golf, and that the model year of the car was between 2000 and 2005.
